Here’s what these tasks ask you to do!

Catch 3 Grass-, Water- or Fire-Type Pokemon

An Automatically Completed Task*

Catch a Rock-Type Pokemon**

*When the Throwback Challenge event was originally announced, Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, said players would receive 10 Rare Candies for completing the Special Research tasks during the Johto portion of the event. However, players only received five Rare Candies instead. They can receive the other five by turning in this task.

**In our experience, Aron is the easiest Rock-Type Pokemon to find in the wild during this event, so be on the lookout for this Pokemon when you're trying to complete this task!

Rewards: 10 Poke Balls for completing the first task, 5 Rare Candies for turning in the second task, and 500 Stardust for completing the third task; 1 Pinap Berry, 2 Razz Berries, and an encounter with Nosepass when all three tasks are completed
